I thought about this last night. One of the big selling points for the AR style weapon is that it's easy to change barrels and configurations. It seems that this would make it easier to ditch a barrel that has been used in a crime, making identification of bullets harder or impossible for the authorities.

I watched a video of an AR receiver from a 3D printer. It lasted 6-7 shots.

The mags will probably hold up better and the tech will improve.

That said, current semi-auto rifles are not that difficult to convert to fully automatic and yet fully automatic conversions are hardly ever used in crime. It seems like the DIY hurdle is enough to dissuade just about everyone from making an illegal weapon.

Now just how is this different than building your own bomb? We don't have many kids dying because of bombs and it's already illegal to build bombs. Just cause you can, doesn't mean you will and if it's illegal, you aren't likely. Besides, no one is coming for your guns.

New York just made countless numbers of firearms in the state useless due to their ban of magazines over 7 rounds.

Then what IS the leftist agenda? Nothing the left proposes would have prevented the recent nightmares, so people are suspicious of the left's agenda. They are obviously up to something other than what they say they're up to. Anybody over 30 knows that the left believes lying is acceptable in defense of the cause, so how are we supposed to work with these guys? There can be no political cooperation without trust and respect, and that requires honesty.
